UNITED STATES JAMES B. MORROW, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.

HEAT DEFLECTOR.

Application filed. February 25, 1924.

1 0 all whom it vim-y concern.

Be it known that I, JAMEs B. Monnow, a citizen of the United States, residing at ()akland, in the county of Alameda and State 5 of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heat Deflectors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improved deflector particularly applicable to oil heaters.

The object of my invention is to provide a deflector which is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and effective in operation. My deflector is positioned immediately below the top of the heater, and deflects the heat outwardly, which is emitted through openings in the upper part of the stove. The heat thus deflected will serve to warm the lower part of the room instead of passing directly upwards to the ceiling.

In the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated:

Figure 1 is a side view of my deflector secured to a heater.

Figure 2 is a plan view of my deflector.

Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the stove 1, which may be any standard type of oil heater, has an inverted cup shaped top 2. My deflector 3 is secured to the stove 1 immediately below the top 2, and comprises a horizontal ring 1 which extends outwardly from the stove beyond the edge of said top. An inverted frustum conical baffle plate 5 extends downwardly from the ring 4 with the lower edge touching the stove 1. Legs G depend from the lower edge of the plate 5 and grip the stove to assist in holding the deflector 2 in position.

Serial No. 694,962.

The ring A and plate 5 are preferably formed in two pieces hinged together at 7. A clamping screw 8 extends through lugs 9 and 10 on the ring, and serves to draw the ring 4. tightly together, and hold the deflector in position on the stove.

The deflector as shown closes some of the openings 11 in the upper part of the stove 1, and prevents the heated air from passing upwardly and impinging upon the lower surface of the top 2, which protrudes from the stove. The heated air striking the lower surface of the top 2 will cause unfavorable eddies and retard the flow of said air. The rising air now strikes the battle 5 and is deflected into the room.

Having described my invention I claim:

1. A heat deflector for oil heaters comprising an inverted frustum conical baffle plate, and means to secure said plate to the heater below the top thereof.

2. A heat deflector for oil heaters comprising a ring, an inverted frustum conical plate depending from said ring, and legs depending from said plate and adapted to grip the sides of the stove.

3. A heat deflector for oil heaters con1- prising a ring, an inverted frustum conical plate depending from said ring, said ring and plate being formed in two halves hinged together, and means to clamp the halves (o-- gether.

at. A heat deflector for oil heaters comprising a ring, an inverted frustum conical plate depending from said ring, said ring and plate being formed in two halves hinged together, and means to clamp the halves together, and legs depending from said plate, and adapted to grip the stove.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JAMES B. MOB-ROW.
